Flooding, erosion, property damage, pollution… When uncontrolled, stormwater can wreak havoc on our waterways, ecosystems, and land. Managing water quantity and protecting its quality has become critical with continued development and channelization of stormwater, changing storm intensities, and increasingly stringent regulations.
The stormwater engineering team at BG Consultants, which includes a Certified Floodplain Manager, has the perfect combination of local experience and technical expertise to design the best stormwater solutions for your needs.
BG Consultants has helped solve numerous stormwater problems of all types and sizes. Working with clients ranging from private individuals to large cities, we’ve successfully designed stormwater conveyance systems and flood and erosion control measures in accordance with water quantity and quality regulations.
Our team also offers vital support for BG’s multidisciplinary projects, including site development and transportation, to detain stormwater runoff close to the source and lessen peak flow rates. Regardless of the project, we always keep the public welfare in mind as we tackle existing and future stormwater problems related to your environment, community, business, home, and property.

Water is the lifeblood of any community. Though we often take it for granted, growing demand, diminishing supply, and aging infrastructure make it increasingly difficult for water suppliers to provide quality, affordable water to their customers.
BG Consultants understands these challenges. Over the past 40 years, we have helped communities identify problems with their systems, prioritize rehabilitation efforts, meet drinking water regulations, and implement creative solutions to maintain sustainable water supplies. We have experience with every component of potable water systems, including distribution lines, storage systems, pumps, and meters, as well as increasingly complex treatment facilities.
Gathering public input and building consensus, navigating the regulatory environment, and identifying funding sources are all included in BG’s commitment to you. Our goal is to not only meet your current needs, but to develop long-term relationships built on trust, transparency, and successful solutions.
